BURL Black Bundle B16 Mothership MADI BMB2, BAD16, BDA12

BURL Black Bundle B16 Mothership MADI BMB2 BAD16, BDA12

Mothership 3, released in conjunction with the BURL BLACK series, unlocks the true channel count potential of the Mothership. Now with Mothership 3, up to 64 channels of I/O (@44.1 kHz and 48 kHz) are possible per daughter card slot!

Mothership 3 channels per daughter card slot:

• 64 channels @44.1 kHz, 48 kHz
• 32 channels @88.2 kHz, 96 kHz
• 16 channels @176.4 kHz, 192 kHz

The Mothership 3 enabling technology is a new intercommunication protocol which allows for communication between the Motherboards and the Daughter cards. This allows the BMB Motherboards to know exactly what daughter cards are occupying the daughter card slots which then allows the Mothership 3 Motherboards to automatically configure the daughter card I/O mapping. This means no more jumper settings to configure daughter card I/O!

Mothership 2 allowed for 8 channel input cards, e.g. the BAD8, and jumpers were used to set which card slots were used for which specific daughter cards. Now with Mothership 3, any daughter card of any channel count can be put into any Mothership slot and the Mothership 3 BMB Motherboard will automatically configure all of the I/O.

The BURL Audio B16 Mothership 3 is a 2U, 2-slot version of the revolutionary B80 Mothership, Burl Audio’s signature product. Simply put, the B80 Mothership has redefined digital recording, and now the legendary sound can be found in a smaller, more portable B16 Mothership. Utilizing technology developed for the B80, the B16 Mothership uses the exact same I/O cards as the B80 Mothership, continuing Burl Audio’s deep dedication to analog, Class A circuitry. The result is not only heard, but it is also felt. The Mothership stands out from every other interface on the market not because it is colored, but because it does not sterilize the source.

Using a card-based system, and a heavy-duty 2U chassis, the B16 Mothership employs 2 daughter card slots with an internal power supply and your choice of Motherboard for Digilink, MADI, Dante, or Soundgrid connectivity. Every ADC channel uses a proprietary BX1 transformer and every DAC channel has the latest Burl Audio discrete op-amp, BOPA4.

For anyone who has yearned for a Mothership in a smaller format, this is a dream come true.

BMB2 Madi Motherboard

The BMB2 features two optical MADI ports for use with ASIO (Windows) or CORE AUDIO (Mac) PCIe MADI cards. With two optical ports, 64-in/64-out at 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k, and 32-in/32-out at 176.4k, and 192k are supported. With 6 BAD8s and 4 BDA8s a 48×32 IO can be achieved. With 2 BAD8s and 8 BDA8s a 16×64 IO can be achieved. With the configurability of the Mothership the IO possibilities are limitless.

• 2 optical MADI ports
• 64-channel IO at 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k
• 32-channel IO at 176.4k, 192k
• 2 BNC Word Clock outputs
• 1 BNC Word Clock input

Features:

• 2-slot chassis for Burl Audio converter modules
• MADI motherboard included
• Robust 2U chassis with an internal power supply
• Modular format with a host of analog and digital cards allows you to create your own custom converter configuration

BAD16 Daughter Card

BURL Audio is proud to announce the BAD16, the latest BURL BLACK ADC Daughter Card offering for the BURL Audio B80 and B16 Motherships. The BAD16 features 16 channels of all discrete transistor, class-A, transformer coupled, Analog to Digital Conversion. The BAD16 employs the latest BURL Audio NextGen analog section featuring the brand new BX8 transformer, a smaller form factor input transformer for higher channel density.

With its higher channel density, the BAD16 brings the superior class-A analog technology that BURL Audio is known for, at a lower cost per ADC channel compared to the existing BURL GREEN ADC line.

The BAD16 in a B16 chassis is the ideal 16 channel input solution for recording musicians or project studios who have yearned for a Mothership, but the price point was beyond their budget. The BAD16 now brings the incredible BURL Audio fidelity to those looking to up their game without breaking the bank.

The BAD16 in a B80 chassis is also ideal for those who need a very large input channel count in one B80 chassis. With 8 BAD16s in a B80 chassis, the maximum input channel count is 128 input channels when using a BMB2-MADI or BMB3-DANTE at 44.1kHz or 48kHz. Likewise a 64 input x 64 output B80 can be realized in one B80 chassis using any B80-BMBx Motherboard and the complementary BDA16.

BAD16 Daughter Card Features:

• 16 channel Analog to Digital Conversion
• All class-A analog
• All discrete transistor BURL NextGen circuit path
• Latest BURL BX8 transformer
• 32 maximum ADC channels with B16
• 128 maximum ADC channels with B80 (BMB2, BMB3 @ 44.1k, 48k)
• Front panel signal indication
• Automatic BMB1-Digilink detection for Avid Delay Compensation
• Mothership 3 compatible

BDA12 Daughter Card

BURL Audio is proud to announce the BDA12 ORCA, the latest BURL BLACK Monitor and DAC Daughter Card offering for the BURL Audio B80 and B16 Motherships. The BDA12 features 12 channels of class-A, discrete transistor op-amp, Digital to Analog Conversion, plus stereo, class-A, speaker and headphone, monitoring. The BDA12 employs the latest BURL Audio NextGen analog section featuring the BOPA14 op-amp, and multichannel DAC chip technology for increased channel density.

With its higher channel density, the BDA12 brings the superior class-A analog technology that BURL Audio is known for, at a lower cost per DAC channel compared to the existing BURL GREEN DAC and ORCA Monitor line.

The BDA12 in a B16 chassis is the ideal 12 channel line output plus monitor section solution for recording musicians or project studios who have yearned for a Mothership, but the price point was beyond their budget. The BDA12 now brings the incredible BURL Audio fidelity to those looking to up their game without breaking the bank. A B16 chassis with a BAD12 paired with a BAD16 is an incredibly powerful and compact, 16 in x 12 out plus monitor section, all in one recording solution.

BDA12 Daughter Card Features:

• 12 channel Digital to Analog Conversion, line level output
• 2 channel Digital to Analog Conversion, stereo monitor output
